- Cooler temperatures in California, crossing my fingers.

- Mug Swap buddy getting her box. :) Check her out at Overextended April. 

- seeing friends that I haven't seen in a long time. 

Goodbye August!!!

Row 1: I love first Friday of the month at work when they bring us free lunch!! My cousin planned a Raging Waters Family Trip, which was so much fun!! 

Row 2: After a really long and hectic week, we got cupcakes at work. It was also my cousins baby shower, and I was finally able to make her a little baby blanket. Isn't it cute!!! Ahhhh and this month I received my first ever IPSY bag!! I was sooo excited. :) 

Row 3: finally started decorating my little cubicle at work. Speaking of work, they had an annual company party for us at the beach. It was hot, but fun. 

Row 4: My cousin baptised my little niece. She looked so cute. I had dinner with one of my best friends. It felt good catching up with her. :) 

What are you looking forward to the most thing September?

Hello June..

Wooot Wooot!!! Happy June everyone!! We are at the halfway point of the year.

When I think of June I think of summer, longer days, late nights, barbecues, the pool and the beach. 

Here are some of the things I'm looking forward to this month.

1. One of my aunts (but she is the same age as me) is getting married this month. So I'm excited to be with the family and dance. 
2. Vegas trip at the end of the month!!! wooot woot!!! 
3. I got a new job and I'm so excited to be starting in two weeks. Wooo!!!
4. Continue enjoying the Summer Reading Challenge new books. 
5. Continue working out before going to work, I feel it works so much better for me in the morning than in the afternoon, when I'm feeling lazy. 
6. Hoping to spend time at the beach or the pool. :) 
7. Looking forward to my Half Birthday!! I'm halfway to my 25 birthday on June 25th.. eeek.

----------------------------------------------------- This next part was inspired by this post over at But first, Coffee. Where Kallie summarized the month of May by showing her iPhone pictures!! :) Love it!! May through my photos:

Row 1: Never a dull moment with these cuties. I love spending time with my nieces and nephews Row 2: Healthy start to most of my days with a green juice. We celebrated mom's birthday at Benihana's. May was a really hot day here in California, I needed to bring out my Maxi dress for my Fashion Photo Shoot. Row 3:  Got my creative juices flowing this month, with a handmade Peplum Skirt and a cute baby blanket for my pregnant cousin. Another cousin graduated from college, wooo!!! Took my mom out to watch a movie, guess what she wanted to see.... X-Men!! #nerd Row 4: Palm Springs Vacation!! We spent it mostly at the pool!! How was your May? What are you looking forward the most in June?

Hello May {Goals and Wrap Up}

Oh my, I can't believe we are already in May. Time is going by fast!!  May, I Welcome you! Be good to us!! 

Before I get to why I love May, let's wrap up April.  April was definitely a busy month. I got hired as a substitute para educator, which I'm loving. Now I have two part-time jobs, with not many hours, but the experience is what I look forward to.  I also started the A-Z challenge, and I wanted to complete 90% of the posts, which would end up being 23 out of 26 posts. I'm sorry to say that I did not complete my goal. I'm a little disappointed in myself, but April was a busy month.  Another main goal was to eat healthier and to workout more. Happy to say I have been eating healthier lately. And although I did join the #1800MinuteChallenge, I did not workout as much as I wanted to this past weekend. Social Life Update: I did not visit new places. But I did give sushi a 2nd chance. And it was okay, but I wouldn't order it as my first choice of food. I didn't see my friends that much this month, and I'm hoping May changes that. I also joined a Book Club through Meet Up this month. I participated in World Book Night this past April 23. It is an event held every year on Shakespeare's birthday, in order to spread the love of reading to people who might not have access to reading materials and books, by handing out free books. It was very rewarding, and will be participating next year.  -------------------------------------------------------------------------

May means that summer is around the corner. And here in California, these last couple of days have been hot. I think we are going to have a hot summer. May also means family functions, Mom's, Brothers', Grandma's birthdays. Mother's Day! These are some of the things I look forward to in May: 1. I still want to continue eating healthier.  2. I do want to really get into a work out routine. 3. Get my Mom and Grandma something special for their birthday and Mother's Day.  4. Continue enjoying my new job, even if it means getting a 6am wake up call.  5. Go to our second annual Memorial Day Weekend trip with my best friends. This year: Palm Springs 6. Participate in Bout of Books 10.0 and finish at least 3 books this month. 7. Attend at least 1 Book Club meeting through Meetup. 8. I have about 7 months until my 25 birthday, I definitely want to start on that Bucket List of mine. Any ideas? What are you looking forward to in May?
